Quote: Mike, Any range reports? Perhaps you're not out of trauma rehab after shooting the thing? Just kidding! But not kidding about wanting range reports. I'm thinking about dusting off my .577 rifles for a bit of range time this spring. Curl
Roscoe, Trauma rehab .....that would be a stiff shot of Whisky and two aspirin when I get home from shooting it. I will say that even at 12lbs 6oz it does kick a mite with the 6 1/2 Drams of Swiss 1 1/2 and a 650 grain bullet.
Up til now I have not done much more than shooting 50 yards offhand at a paper plate or warermelon sized rocks, either the BP loads with cast 650’s, or 79 grains of H4198, backer rod, and a Woodleigh 650. I do need to get the chronograph out and shoot off a rest to see how it really groups and verify the speed.
Right now this has been a heavy snow year here and no access to shooting spots since November. Can’t wait for Spring.....last big snows are usually mid to end of April. -Mike
